Bangor - Employers in Eastern Maine gathered at the University of Maine Augusta's Bangor campus this morning, to discuss what they call an "untapped workforce."

The Maine Business Leadership Network and the Maine State Chamber of Commerce hosted the discussion on workers with disabilities. The day's activities included two panel discussions and a skit aimed at breaking down preconcieved notions when it comes to hiring workers with disabilities. Organizers plan to hold two more forums like this in the Southern and Western Maine areas in the near future.
